Summary
This paper explores how regular physical activity functions as a circadian zeitgeber, influencing the master clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus and peripheral oscillators throughout the body. For lighting and wellbeing practitioners, this highlights that light is not the sole entrainment signal, and exercise may complement light-based interventions for circadian health.
